This one is always easy, whether it’s leftover meatballs or freshly bought. Just scoop up and eat whenever you want. Jodi shares this School Night Supper first thing in the show podcast below.

Heat up sauce and meatballs in a pot on your stove. Heat oven to 275-300. Open bread and put the meatballs and sauce on it and toast it for a few minutes. Take it back out and throw some cheese on and toast again!

Sam’s Cheeseburgerdilla/Tacodilla

Sam’s got not one, but TWO recipes to add to our School Night Suppers. He explains them both at 17:11 minutes into the show podcast below.

Cheeseburgerdilla

Ingredients

1 or 2 pre-made burgers

bacon or bacon bits

shredded cheddar

chopped tomato, lettuce, pickle and onion

large flour tortillas

Directions

Cook the burgers to you preference and chop them up (so you can sprinkle on the cheese in the quesadilla).

Melt butter in a large pan and heat a tortilla. As it starts to puff up flip the tortilla.

Sprinkle cheedar on half the tortilla and top with burger and any of the other toppings you wish. Usually my kids just want the burger and cheese and I add all the other toppings for myself.

Fold the tortilla over and cook on both sides…flipping as needed until the cheese melts and the tortilla is cooked to your preferred doneness.

Slice it and serve with burger condiments for dipping: ketchup, mayo, mustard, etc

Tacodilla

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey

taco seasoning

Mexican blend shredded cheese

large flour tortillas

Directions

Cook beef or turkey with taco seasoning as you would when you make tacos

Fold the tortilla over and cook on both sides…flipping as needed until the cheese melts and the tortilla is cooked to your preferred doneness.

Slice it and serve with sour cream, salsa, etc.for dipping.

Jodi’s Slow Cooked Chicken Tacos

Jodi goes more into detail on this yummy recipe first in the morning. Specifically 1:08 minutes into the show podcast below.

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast

A few pats of butter

Taco Seasoning (powder pack OR a medium sized jar)

Directions

In the morning, place chicken breasts in slow cooker, season with salt & pepper and place a pat of butter on top of each chicken breast – cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Don’t open the slow cooker until you are ready to shred and eat the chicken.

IF you are using powered taco seasoning – shred chicken and then mix in some tomato sauce and the seasoning. IF you are using the liquid taco sauce – you can cook the chicken IN it, or add once the chicken is done.

My kids like to do homemade pizzas with the Jiffy pizza dough. Very inexpensive and just add water. We make these on the grill. So yummy!!!!! And it’s a fun little family project – we each make our own 🙂
